So, when will we be free from Trump or his ideological successsors?

When Americans stop sending money to Nigerian princes.

When Americans refuse to pay three installments of $19.95 for a $4.00 "non-stick" skillet and a couple of $3.00 pans.

When Americans stop buying "supplements" guaranteed to restore their hair, increase their IQ and turn old men into randy studs.

When Americans come to REALLY comprehend that calling an apple a banana 5,000 times---even on TV---does not make it a banana.

In a nation where people insist on THINKING FOR THEMSELVES and have the ability to do just that, Trump would be a disgusting laughingstock.

Americans are too caught up with get-rich-quick schemes. That's why lotteries are so popular.

Americans are too caught up with materialism and keeping-up-with-the-Joneses. They got to have the newest, latest thing. That's why cellphones, cars and other stuff keeps selling.

Americans are too caught up with celebrities and athletes as if those are worthy role models. That's why nothings like the Kardashians are so popular.

For some stupid reason, too many Americans think that education, independent thinking and individualism are negative attributes. Until that perspective changes, a sizeable portion of our nation will continue to be intellectually lazy, creatively stunted and superficial. That's the perfect breeding ground for a Trump or Cruz.

You have also pointed out clearly why I feel like such an outsider in my own country.

The movie is A Face In the Crowd. One moment and it is all over and even his base leaves him.

As they lose more and more they will become outcasts , and as more of them face criminal charges and prosecutions they'll fade away. They're losing voters every day now. Their lying is not working as good as the truth undermines it, and exposes them.
